He wants to rip his collection NOW. If it fails in 3 years it would not matter, especially since he will never let such a huge queue of to-be-ripped discs pile up (making the ripping speed of any replacement less important)
Back in 2007, there were an estimate of 1 billion Windows PCs in the world. I am pretty sure with 200 million Notebooks being sold each year (not to mention desktops, etc), this number has ince increased.
Well, the APS is not THAT helpfull for stuff like that, and companies also rent time at facilities like Spring 8 or ESRF for this kind of research. Supercomputers are nice, but you are not going to be able to skip the peer review just because you are from a new insitute.
Nanotech research center of course helps.
But you miss the point. Of course its a good thing to push that money into research, as public research can have more freedom in its options than corporate research.
But the goal is just a sad joke. 120 million over 5 years. For a factor 5 improvement in power and a factor 5 improvement in price. Over 5 years.
Thats so ridiculously idiotic, because it is impossible. Even if it was not even a 1% of the current R&D spending on batteries, it would still be a setup for failure.
Why not give it realistic goal, like 50% improvement in power at half price?
120 million is just a crapshot, especially on that short notice.
Or you want usability. Or do you tell me you never use bookmark, history, or anything in your web browsing. Always type every URL per hand? Cause thats more or less what it would boil down to be always in privacy mode
Let me guess, you thing you are a big shot because you have them on your google account...
Backup plan in that case would be: . Have cloud backups of important data (Carbonite/Crackplan/Mozy/etc). Have maybe $500 on a safings account. Thats enough for a cheap laptop and a DSL router / cable modem. With that, you can do literally anything you need to do in terms of communication / esential computer use.
Because arson, especially if you are not living along in your own house (i.e. added endangerment of others) will bring you into WAY bigger shit than just about anything they could find on your HD.
I strongly suspect you are a retard, or do not know how to use units.
9kWh per day means that this battery could power your house for over 1 day. That would be a lot more than 2 hours for 5 houses of equal resonse.
9kW continuous power draw (what you seem to imply by ignorance) would mean that you would burn >$500 in electricity per months, even at extremely low american prices.
ACtually, the difference is less than you think. 10-15%, to be exact. Modern airlines do not use plain aluminium. Most recently, Alumnium-Magnesium-Lithium alloys have been introduced, for example
The reason helium is cheap is becaue the US had a HUUUUUGE strategic stockpile during the cold war (many times the total yearly helium production, IIRC), that is being sold off, massivly pushing down the price.
And it is not that easy with the reseves. Helium shortages are a reality! I have colleques that could not fill their helium cryostats because Air Liquide told them that currently they cannot deliver, as hospitals got first priority and the supply was to thin for weeks. They ended up renting a truck to carry dewars from the other end of the country!
high fps "looks cheap" because you are used to it only in context of cheap productions, while you are used to 24fps content to look "not cheap" because you are used to it feature films.
The thing is, Kodak was a frontrunner in digital cameras. They build the first. They had the first DSLR 20 years ago (with funky shoulder-stray storage and power units, like the lasers in Akira).
They just pissed it away by the way of bad decisions.

Why would he want it to last a decade?

USB is plenty much faster than any drive on the planet can read CD-Roms

Also, if you look at the raw stats:

There is quite a curvature upwards, so maybe there is some sale to use latency?

I found it hillarious that they used Minecraft and (especially) The Sims as positive examples.
Both are more or less gameplay free sandboxes that almost completely lack gameplay.
They are virtual lego and virtual dollhouse, not games!
A counter suit against somebody for filing a (as it seems) justified suit concerning real patent violation?
Why ? What would be that point? If this does irreperable harm to Form 1, it just proves that their whole buisness depented on violating that patent.
Are tons of proud americans bragging against each other how much power their home needs.
Without understanding concepts like peak power, or the insight that they are idiots if any of their claims are true.

Server chips make less than 12% of AMDs revenue, tieing with chipsets, of all thing. Graphic chips are more than twice that.

Also, that is the volume of tha balloon at terminal altitude, where air pressure is less than a kPa.
Actually, Helium recory is a reality. Most of it IS recovered, otherwise we would have total chaos.
Actually, not quite.

Well, the resolution of the scren is so high that they do not have to care about x2 or x3 scaling anyway, in my oppinion.
So they should have just gone to 1280x720. Cause downscaling HD video is odd.
Thats funny, with the LaTeX... as the only way LaTeX actually looks nice is after you have converted it to PDF...
Starting with you.
80 times the longevity? No. Really no.
Maybe 10 times, and only if the tape is sitting in a air conditioned room, not being used.
Taking a DLT and doing random access stuff will destroy the tape in a matter of weeks.
Wiped out my Android, started augemented reality solver, pointed camera at monitor at it took 45ms to show me the complete field.
Makes Sudoku feel rather pointless.
You mix up cause and effect.
high fps "looks cheap" because you are used to it only in context of cheap productions, while you are used to 24fps content to look "not cheap" because you are used to it feature films.
Also has the advantage that it is basically untraceable... i mean, what to you want, google it?
Which makes it even more pointless... cou could just drop the ashes out of a plane. Same result.
